ANOTHER BLOGER

NGO Map
Olaf Brugman's Blog on non-governmental organizations

Where I found:

The Triumph and Tragedy of Human Capital: Foundation Resource for Building Network Knowledge Economies
This is a highly relevant presentation by William H. Melody. It focuses on building human capacity for the knowledge economy, and the role of universities in building that capacity. University of Witwatersrand. 18 September, 2002.

Learning to Make Policy: the emergence of knowledge-based aid
"Aid agencies are becoming increasingly influenced by debates about the knowledge economy and its implications for development, on the one hand, and private sector practices of knowledge management on the other. This project explores the nature of the resultant knowledge-based aid and asks whether it is indeed in the interest of those in the South who are supposedly the partners in development cooperation."

where in turn I found a link to:

LEARNING IN DEVELOPMENT CO-OPERATION
"The purpose of this book," according to the editors, "is not only to highlight problems of learning in development
co-operation, but also to use the insights of the contributions to the book, to develop suggestions as to how effective learning can be implemented in development co-operation." The editors believe that the book has "identified a set of critical, sometimes structural, problems in development aid that need to be overcome, if learning is to become more effective than it is today."

Olaf Brugman is also moderator on the following site:

KnowledgeBoard: The European KM Community
The European special interest group on knowledge management for non-government organizations. This is a great web site for those interested in the topic.
